16.dumpingdumping解析：由本句句意“通过将污水和化学物质…人河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空处显然应为“倒”。又因为介词后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。

17.SometimeSometime解析：通过对后面句子的分析，我们可以知道那些想入非非、飘飘欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“双脚落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以这里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案为sometime。

18.whichwhich解析：“声誉建立的基础”英语表达为“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

19.andand解析：“both…and…”为固定搭配，“两者都”。所以此处应填“and”。

20.accordingaccording解析：accordingto意为“根据”，为固定短语，本句句意为“根据对…的严格调查，…。”

21.toto解析：“incontrastto”为固定搭配，意为“与…相对比”。所以此处应填“to”。

22.dividedivide解析：根据上下文语境，这里是“分为”，divide…upinto意为“把…划分为”。所以此处应填动词“divide”。

23.thosethose解析：文章中提到“16-19岁之间的日本青年跟25-29岁之间的青年对比”，这里缺少代词，替代“Japaneseyouth”。所以此处应填“those”

24.promisingpromising解析：此句意为“一家大制造公司最近采访了许多…的工程师，这些工程师都已离开这家公司。”由上下句判断，此空处填“有希望的，有前景的”最合句意。

25.worseworse解析：“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意为“越…越…，”根据上下文，本句句意为“身边的小玩意儿越多，事情似乎就会变得越糟糕。”所以此处应填“worse”。

26.A解析：书评一中“Stiglitzargues，what'sneededtomakeglobalizationworkbetterismoreandsmartergovernmentintervention．”这句话我们可以看出。所以本题应选A。

27.C解析：由C中的howitworks中的第二条“Thismeansyoudon'tneedtousesomuchgasorelectricitytoheatyourwaterathome．”可知答案为C。

28.B解析：由短文第三段第一句“Incometaxesarethemainsourceoffederalrevenues．”。

29.A解析：由A中的第二段第二句话“Oneithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings.”可知。

30.D解析：A、B、C项文中均没有提到。根据第三段的论述，可知D项是惟一正确的。

31.FF解析：从后面的first，second等字眼可以看出答案为F，因为选项中的“This，ofcourse，willintroducetwovitalsetsofproblem—isalreadyintroducingthem．”相对应。故应选F。

32.A解析：由A中第三段中“TheunpopulararchitecturehasledtotheareabeingcalledtheMiltonKeynesofLondon”，A中多处提到Rotherhithe的建筑风格很老套。所以此处答案为A。

33.B解析：由B中的内容“Producessmallamountsofwaste.”可知答案为B。

34.D解析：由短文第一句“Opinionpollsarenowbeginningtoshowthat，whoeveristoblameandwhateverhappensfromnowon，highunemploymentisprobablyheretostay．”可知。

35.A解析：本文谈到青少年自杀问题，自杀显然不会是C、D，故排除。cool也并不是这些孩子自杀的目的，只有A合适。

36.C解析：由C中“‘WillesdenGreenhasadiverserangeofpropertiesfrom1930ssemi-detachedhousestolargeVictorianpropertiesandnew-buildswhichattractallkindsofbuyers'，saysRichardChiti，salesmanageratestateagentsEllisandCo．”可以看出WillesdenGreen是一个文化

37.EE解析：第一段引出了人们对未来的担心，认为老龄化将会带来各种问题。第三段是对老龄化社会的肯定，认为这是文明发展的成果。“myth”一词含有杜撰的意思。一些人的担心是多余的。E起到承上启下的作用。

38.A解析：从文章最后一段“Potentialhomebuyerswouldcheerforlowerinterestrates.Employerswouldn'tmindalittlefewerbubblesinthe{obmarket…”可以看出，尽管经济形势不好，但是还是有人能够受益的，比如说，想买房子的人认为这种低利息，就业市场等等。故应选A。

39.CC解析：接下来讲的是人体的免疫系统与毒藤之间的关系。毒藤会使人产生什么样的反应，该空紧接的就是毒藤过敏反应时如何产生的。“Here’showthepoisonivyresponseoccurs．”一句承上启下。所以本题应选C。

40.A解析：由短文第二段中的“Ceramics，florinstance，havelongbeenlimitedbytheirbrittleness．”。

41.D由D中的advantage中的第四句话“Windfarmscanbetouristattractions．”可知答案为D。

42.B文章第三段最后两句话“Moreover，itbecomesunworkable．．．theInternetdoesnotknowgeographicboundaries，andcompaniesandindividualscannotbeexpectedtocomplywithdiffering，andattimesconflicting，privacyrules．”这说明各州制定的法律是不好实施的，因为网络是不具有地域限制的。这种法律不能仅仅限制在某个州的范围之内。故应选B。

43.E由上下两段可知，只有E放在此处可使上下文衔接。

44.A由A中的第二段第二句话“0neithersideofthepalacearemanycomparativelysmallbuildings．”可知。

45.C由下一段“FirstIhadtoregistermy…”可知，此处填“IwaslookingforaguitarandthisiswhatIdid．”正好与下文衔接。2021-2022年甘肃省庆阳市公共英语五级(笔试)模拟考试(含答案)学校:________班级:________姓名:________考号:________
